SSH is a pain to secure properly, and the potential for mischief is huge. There is no sudo in FTP.
It's straightforward to permit SSH access but not shell logins.... if you can administer user and group settings. I guess stuff like scponly (http://freecode.com/projects/scponly) is useless if you're running Windows server-side.
